Pre-race nerves were showingÂ yesterday.Â I was quite on edge, with a short fuse.Â After realizing this,Â I spent some time performing mental relaxation and race rehearsal lead by friend Clint Lien.

This morning, I went for a final swim at Tempe Town Lake, and met up with Paulo.Â It was good that I was able to hook up with an old racing buddy of mine and fellow chiropractor Mike Donia – we used to have some good battles back in the day.

My head is in a good state of mind, though I’d be lying if I said I was completely relaxed.Â I really want to perfom tomorrow and will be putting everything into it.
